No Drawing.

To all -whom it ma concern: Be it known t at I, RUDOLF TORNYAY- Sonosnsnosn, residin at Budapest, in the Empire of Austriaungary, a subject of the King of Hungary,- have invented new and useful Improvements in Processes of Manufacturing Cemcntfof which the following is a specification. My invention relates to a process of man,- ufacturing cement from a waste product of the beet sugar industry.

The object of my invention is the manufacturing of different varieties of cements, poss'cssin the highest qualities and a perfeet uni ormity,by converting the caustic lime which is used in the manufacturing of beet sugar for clearing the sugar-juices, and which forms at present as saturation slime' a low-grade waste product of the sugar, refinin process, into cement and to this end I add materials containing silicates to the caustic lime in a quantity corresponding to the percentage of silicates contained intlie raw material 'of the cement. It is possible, to employ thesaturation-slime for themanufactnring of cement by drying and pulverizing it, mixing it with substances containing silicates and finally shaping and burning the mass. This process, however,'is not very economical, because the pulvcrizingof thedried saturation-slime and the followingmixing with thc silicates is considerably ex pensive. According to my invention the silicates are not added to the dried saturation-slime, but directly to the sugar-juices which are mixed with callstic lime whereby the saturation-slime will possess already when sc )arated a composition re uired for the manutacturinggof cement. he silicates either may be brought directly into the saturator, containing the,

sugar-juice which has been already mixed with lime water, or they may be mixed with the lime-waterbeforef it is added to the processes 0 sult.

Bythe recess of saturation with carbonic acid a tiorough and perfect .could not, by far,be obtained y any of the manufacturing cement known up to this time, neither by the dry, nor by these-called wet processes. The fact that the mixing isefiected in a pretty thin liguid, is very favorable for obtaining a goo ,ie: The saturation-mud, containing silicates, which is separated by-fithe sataia materials takes lace,such'as Patented: Apr. 12, 19M).

Application flied March 1, 1009. Serial No. 480,672.

t-ion with carbonic acid and thereupon fil'- tered in a suitable manner, possesses al-- ready such a percentage composition, that after the following burning a cement of the required variety results without further steps- It is evident, that by this way cement of different varieties, such as Portland cement, Roman cement, and slag cement may manufactured. l The process is carried out in the following manner: To the lime-water which is to be used for the clearing of the beet-sugar juices a silicate of such a quality and in such a quantity is added, that it corresponds to the I known composition of "the cement desired, for instance of Portland-cement; the mass obtained is a paste which is added to the juice n a quantity proper for the content of sugar. During the saturation-process followin this step, the mass is very thorou hly mixe by the gas (carbonic acid) Win51 is passed through it andtherefore the separated saturation-inud contains the substances necessary for the production of cement finely dispensed and closel mixed with each other; The addition of substances containing silicates to the sugar juices containing lime in no way impairs the clearing of the sugarjuices. On the contrary, it even permits of working juices from beets which hare begun ,torot, without any objection, whereas the working of such juices offers, as known, (lit? ficulties by theusual treatment with lime. After the saturation process the ,mud is pressed inv filter presses in a well-known manner and may thereupon directly be burned without previously forming It, as the mud-cakes comin'g from the filter presses crumble by themselves into small pieces of the size of peas or hazelnuts. No forming is therefore necessary and moreover every burned charge is altogether equally and perfectly done. The cement, for instance Portland cement produccd accordin to my process is a very high-grade pro uct.

I claim I 1. Theprocess -which consists in adding silicates to the caustic lime used for the clearing of the sugar-juices. in the manufacture of beet sugar, saturating the mixture oPli ne, silicates and sugar juices roduced'with carbonic acid, removing saturation'mud, burnm said mud, and pulyerizing the product 0 tained, the silicates t e liquid from the of manufacturing cement,,,

be' added in such a e'ntage quantity thia i p cement is ,obtaine d without further ste t +5. The process of manufacturing cement, which consists in adding materials containing silicates to the caustic lime used for the clea 'of the sugar-juices in the manufacture of t sugar, saturating the mixture of lime, silicates and sugar uices produced with carbonic acid, removin the liquid from thesaturation mud, burnlng said mud,

and pulverizing the product obtained, the Y silicates being added in such a percentage quantity that cement is obtained without er steps. c 3. The process ofmanufacturmg cement,

. which consists in adding silicates to the lime water used for 'the clearing of sugar juices in the manufacture of beet sugar, adding the resultin mixture to the-sugar juices, saturatin fie liquid mixture thus produced with car nic acid, removing the liquid emcee by adding said lime and silicate containing materials, removing the liquid from the saturation mu'ifobtained burning said mud, and finally pu verizing to cement. q r
